## Install
```bash
$ npm install pg-info --save
```
```javascript
const pg = require('pg')
const pgInfo = require('@wmfs/pg-info')
// Make a new Postgres client
const client = new pg.Client('postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/my_test_db')
client.connect()
const info = await pgInfo({
client: client,
schemas: [
'pginfo_people_test',
'pginfo_planets_test',
'pginfo_not_exists'
]
})
```
### pgInfo(options, callback)
### Options:
| Option | Notes |
| ------ | ----- |
| `client` | An already-connected [pg client](https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres/wiki/Client) or [pg pool](https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres/wiki) instance to your database |
| `schemas` | An array of schema names you'd like information about |
> Taking a look at [the tests](https://github.com/wmfs/pg-info/blob/master/test/tests.js) is a good place to get a feel for what __pg-info__ will produce.
__In summary, the structure of the output is:__
* `info` object
* `schema` object(s)
* `table` object(s)
* `column` object(s)
* `index` object(s)
* `trigger` object(s)
* `fkConstraint` object(s)
* `view` object(s)
* `column` object(s)
* `trigger` object(s)
### `info` object
__Example__
```javascript
{

schemas: {} // Keys are schema names
}
```
__Properties__
| property | Type | Notes |
| -------- | ----- | ----- |
| `generated` | `string` | Timestamp of when __pg-info__ interrogated the database |
| `schemas` | `object` | An object where the key refers to a schema name provided via the options, and the value is a `schema` object |
### `schema` object
__Example__
```javascript
{
schemaExistsInDatabase: true,
comment: 'Simple schema created to support testing of the pg-info package!',
tables: {...} // Keys are table names
}
```
__Properties__
| property | Type | Notes |
| -------- | ---- | ------- |
| `comment` | `string` | The database comment added for this schema, if available |
| `schemaExistsInDatabase` | `boolean` | Indicates if this schema is present in the database or not |
| `tables` | `object` | An object where the key refers to a table name within this schema, and the value is a `table` object |
| `views` | `object` | An object where the key refers to a view name within this schema, and the value is a `view` object |
### `table` object
__Example__
```javascript
{
comment: 'For storing a list of planets',
pkColumnNames: [
'planet_name'
],
columns: {...}, // Keys are column names
triggers: {...}, // Keys are trigger names
indexes: {...}, // Keys are index names

}
```
__Properties__
| property | Type | Notes |
| -------- | ---- | ----- |
| `comment` | `string` | The database comment added for this table, if available |
| `pkColumnNames` | `[string]` | An array of column names that define this table's primary key |
| `columns` | `object` | An object where the key refers to a column name within this table, and the value is a `column` object |
| `indexes` | `object` | An object where the key refers to an index name defined for this table, and the value is an `index` object |
| `triggers` | `object` | An object where the key refers to a trigger name within this table, and the value is a `trigger` object |
| `fkConstraints` | `object` | An object where the key refers to a foreign-key constraint name defined for this table, and the value is a `fkConstraint` object |
### `view` object
__Example__
```javascript
{
columns: {...}, // Keys are column names
triggers: {...}, // Keys are trigger names
comment: 'View of just those planets in our solar system',
sql: 'SELECT * FROM my_schema.planets WHERE solar_system = true;'
}
```
__Properties__
| property | Type | Notes |
| -------- | ---- | ----- |
| `columns` | `object` | An object where the key refers to a column name within this view, and the value is a `column` object |
| `triggers` | `object` | An object where the key refers to a trigger name within this view, and the value is a `trigger` object |
| `sql` | `string` | The underlying SQL query of this view |
| `comment` | `string` | The database comment added for this view, if available |
### `column` object
__Example__
```javascript
{
array: false,
columnDefault: null,
isNullable: 'YES',
dataType: 'integer',
characterMaximumLength: null,
numericScale: 0,
comment: 'Age in years'

```
__Properties__
| property | Type | Notes |
| -------- | ---- | ----- |
| `array` | `boolean` | Is the column an array? |
| `comment` | `string` | The database comment added for this comment, if available |

Before running these tests, you'll need a test PostgreSQL database available and set a `PG_CONNECTION_STRING` environment variable to point to it, for example:
```PG_CONNECTION_STRING=postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/my_test_db```
```bash
$ npm test
```
